I’m usually not a big fan of these meetings, but it was beneficial for all parties I think. I think we have all heard rumours about some disenchanted clubs – I don’t know if the reasonably poor turnout (about 60%) was reflective of that, but those that were there contributed to some intelligent/ lively discussion which was greatSo has anyone got any discussion points that were raised at last nights South Presidents meeting?
Pat Quinn is the only rep I've seen at games and that's been 3 times this year!I’m usually not a big fan of these meetings, but it was beneficial for all parties I think. I think we have all heard rumours about some disenchanted clubs – I don’t know if the reasonably poor turnout (about 60%) was reflective of that, but those that were there contributed to some intelligent/ lively discussion which was great
· The issue of communication was raised – I don’t think we as a club knew anything about the permits and clearances investigation despite it directly affecting one of our teams, and obviously placing a lot of stress on the executive
· Some good discussion about regionalising/decentralising the competition which I think has a lot of merit. We don’t want to be in a situation where we lose more clubs/teams in the south – and I think work has to be done to shore up that side, before more expansion out the other way. I reckon it probably deserves its own meeting, as it is a massive issue facing the VTCA – I’m sure they realise how big
· Too many times we put up barriers to people playing cricket – the deadline for permits/clearances, particularly for Lower XIs is one of those. Hopefully that goes!!
· My old bugbear the 4 day GF was discussed, but I don’t reckon I will get that one over the line!!
· Couple of other rule changes – field restrictions, the leg side no ball etc. Seemed a pretty common sense discussion. Astounded to hear that Paul Jenson (umpires advisor) was not consulted on the leg side no ball
· Coloured clothing was discussed – a lot of comps have gone that way. Seemed like the cost to players/clubs would be the only barrier, general consensus was – let’s get it on
· The points were discussed – I can’t help thinking the horse has bolted on that one though
· Plenty of other stuff (covers, Under 21s, weather)
It was good to chat to some guys (other club officials and the VTCA executive) after the meeting. I think that more informal discussion needs to take place. In my time in this comp I reckon I have seen 1 executive member at a game. My 2c – they should endeavour to get along and have a chat with some blokes/ladies who might have some intelligent opinions/ideas to offer, but don’t have the time to get on even more committees
Email received last night to Senior Division presidents was that Sth Caulfield to lose points and ladders to be adjusted overnight, yet still no update. Can't believe that with less than three weeks to finals, clubs still don't know where they offically sit. I understand there are processes that need to be followed but surely it doesn't take a week to update the ladders? Also in the email is that the VT arn't (at this stage) sharing with clubs why the loss of points as there is still another Senior Division club under investigation. Sounds like the VT have taken a leaf out of the ACC book on how to conduct an investigation!
What are the chances now of South Caulfield going down ? Also have heard southern mud guts sorry (sledge) told to pull up on keyboard hahaAll have been adjusted now...
Not at all mate, still here. Good game with YC, they were too good, but game played tough and fair and the outcome was on the ground !What are the chances now of South Caulfield going down ? Also have heard southern mud guts sorry (sledge) told to pull up on keyboard haha
G Courts GreenvaleThat time of the year to start the ball rolling with discussion on Team of the Year.
I'll have a go at the Senior Divison;
Mass Thilina SCCC, Ben Howell SCCC, Nathan Hawkes St Bernards, Bakes Yarraville, Hewy Beaumaris, Wayne White Mc Kinnon, Craig Osbourne St Bernards, John Seery Old Mentone, A.Dickinson Spotswood, Dan Schuppan Keilor, & a WK - any suggestions?
Jody Hutchinson was a close toss up for Dickinsons spot.
Pretty formidable side with most of the blokes able to bat and bowl...
thoughts?
And no one would make more than 100 against them. It would be good to put them against the SubbiesBaker (YC), Thillana (SC), Hawkes (SB), Clarke (SC), Hewett (Beau), Howell (SC), Osborne (SB), Seeary (OM), Brown (GV), Hutchinson (K), Schupan (K)
No specialist keeper as no one has been dominant enough to take a spot - Bakes can do the job. This team would make 400+ most weeks anyway.

from the outside this seems strange to need two clearances for one player. Also strange that the vtca made a decision and then made another after south beat hoppers. not saying hoppers did anything at all just interesting timing with steve mac calling sccc in front of the exec and him sitting on the panel.
i think vtca has to make the vtca exec club affiliate free.
It seems very, very odd to me too. I would have thought a clearance from Oakleigh would be sufficient, since the previous clearance made him an Oakleigh player.So am I getting this correct? A player has been cleared from a premier club and signed with oakleigh, meaning he's an oakleigh player?, but Sth caulfield are then penalised for getting a clearance from oakleigh for this player? ...
This is just my opinion and I'm sure some would disagree, but surely it's black and white that once cleared to a club, he's a player for that club whether he's played a game fir them or not.
